Send it in for the March race and see how it does.

Thinking you might wanna rotate that canopy 90 degrees and move it back. Though I guess you'd have to see where your COM ends up at.

Would you be wrapping it in some kind of skin?

Sending it in to a place with a high quality track/timer is probably the best performance metric. Either NPWDRL or Mid-America.

You make the car with the 3D printer?

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

i agree. You'll never know if it works or not if it doesnt race.

Well boys vk just does not learn. Advise to someone who has the skillset to use technology to think outside the box. OCderbyday keep up the cool stuff. My 2 cents, tungsten cubes.

Now, what did I say on this thread to rustle your jimmies?

Well, okay, offer your rebuttal, then?

VK no rebuttal needed. Race and offer advise from personal experience. Comment on anything and everything and people get annoyed when the comments do not add value.

No, seriously, I'm honestly interested in hearing your objections, because I'm just suggesting what I've seen other people do in order to maximize their CoM from a tungsten canopy.
OCDD's point about the aerodynamics is well taken, but if you've got other misgivings to elucidate, I'm all ears.

If not for my benefit, than for the benefit of some other noob reading this thread.

Embed the Canopy on the bottom of the body; just leave enough room for the rear axles
